Yes, you got it.  Wherever an ID marker is, that place is a
graph vertex.

Because it uses Org IDs, it is pretty unbreakable and can be
linked to across files.  If you move it, you don't have to
change anything that points to it.

You can change how an ID marker looks by adding a keyword
argument (like :label or :face) to the marker.

As you suggest, the arguments can let you point to other
markers to create arbitrary graph structures.

Among other things, this allows =unbreakable bidirectional
links=.  IMO these potentially solve a few unaddressed
aspects of the =tree problem= (my term for the fact that
ideas and tasks naturally form a graph but outlines form a
tree).  Especially with the right label code.  RET bounces
between the ends.

Of course, this is vaporware as.  It's been discussed in a
bunch of threads.  Perhaps you would be willing to try
implementing it.
